Christians do not have a monopoly on seeing what's wrong with the world. This talk examines three secular sin labels as a diagnosis of the problem. Each adds something significant to our understanding of why everything is so bent out of shape. While these labels are useful, they are inadequate when compared to the better diagnosis found in the Bible.   [embed]https://roundchurchcambridge.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/17154512/andrew-fellows-is-sin-plausible-in-the-modern-world.mp3[/embed]...

The Round Church is one of Cambridge’s oldest and best-known buildings. It predates the University by almost a century. It is one of only four round churches still standing in the UK. It has been much loved and discussed by poets, preachers, antiquarians, and journalists down the centuries. And yet so much about its past remains a mystery. Debunking some popular stories about wandering Knights Templar, this talk, held in the beautiful setting of the Round Church itself, uncovers the far more fascinating truths that lay behind this amazing building. It looks at the foundation of the church in the early decades of the twelfth century and some of the ideas which led its founders to make it round.   [embed]https://roundchurchcambridge.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/26144425/robert-evans-deciphering-the-round-church.mp3[/embed]...

Modernisation has given rise to ideologies that have had profound consequences for our sense of identity: secular metanarratives that claim meta-explanatory powers. It has also transformed what the past means for ordinary people – with consequences for how we view the present and the future. In this lecture, Professor Meic Pearse explores some of the more important challenges this presents for a coherent, Christian view of the world, and of ourselves.   [embed]https://roundchurchcambridge.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/06161940/meic-pearse-becoming-modern-recreating-past-present-and-future.mp3[/embed]...
